Yup, go to a smaller exhaust housing, either a .84a/r or a 1.0 a/r. I have the .84 on my 96 and it helps alot with lag but I also have to push through a intercooler.

here's a link to a few options. a smaller exhuast housing as suffested or the Dominator 66 from this site. Also the housing is listed there too.

First I think somebody needs to learn how Turbo Chargers function.

Then compare that to how Super Chargers function. Then determine whether a gas supercharged engine would better suit your friends needs. (in a different truck)

For the record... There is nothing cheap about these trucks. Stock or modified.
